Dieter Finke

Sculptor (1939-2011)

Born in Berlin in 1939, Dieter Finke took place in the early years of artistic expressiveness. From 1959 to 1965 he studied sculpture with Paul Dierkes and Renee Sintenis at the College of Fine Arts in Berlin. His creative use of materials and colour, form and space, he has since continuously extended and modified. His wood and bronze sculptures are reduced to the bare essentials. Especially in his delicate animal sculptures shape is indicated as completed, it remains a wider scope for the imagination of the viewer.

Finke lived and worked alternately in Berlin and New York. His enormous creativity was seen even before the paintings, drawings, objects and collage. So, an extensive oeuvre has arisen, which will be exhibited in famous galleries in Berlin, Hannover, Hamburg and New York. Dieter Finke died in 2011.
